About "Bubbie" Martin

Bubbie and Imogene Martin live in Smithland, Ky. where their two children and two grandchildren also reside. Bubbie's wife Imogene, and kids for a long time had wanted him to write down some of the stories he has told them about things that have happened in Smithland and things he and his friends did growing up in a small town. Bubbie's sister-in-law Parthinia Culver took on the task of assembling the stories, proof reading and staying after Bubbie to complete them.
Those stories were published in 2001 and the books are being sold by the Livingston Co. Genealogical & Historical Society.

Here you will find some of the stories Bubbie has presented in this book about his life growing up in a rivertown called Smithland, KY.
The book is filled with these stories, if you have found them interesting and want to read more you may order the book.
